Wood Flooring

Wood for Every Room

Real wood flooring is right at home in living rooms, dining rooms, dens, and any space in your home you want to look warm and inviting. Wood floors are a great continuous flooring option for open floor plans. Not only do they look attractive in large quantity, they can be layered with rugs to create more intimate room arrangements.

Tile and Stone Flooring

Ceramic tile and natural stone are timeless flooring choices that bring a touch of class and easy care to the home.

Living Room Likeability

Don't pigeonhole tile as just a kitchen and bath flooring. Tile makes a beautiful statement in living and dining spaces, too, thanks to its timeless and natural character.


Contemporary Choices in Tile

Various tile choices offer sleek, contemporary styling for rooms with a modern approach. Try large concrete or irregular slate tiles to make a substantial statement. Or use glossy ceramic tiles for a backdrop to clean-line design.

The Tradition of Stone

Natural stone presents a striking, upscale look in any room. Consider it an investment in your home as it is one of the more expensive flooring choices. Natural stone is a fashionable compliment to traditional style with its classic, and sometimes old-world, look.

 
Tile Offers Form and Function

In the kitchen and bath, the potential for messes and moisture requires a flooring that is high in function, durability, and water-resistance. Tile and stone meet this challenge and bring with it handsome design choices from traditional to contemporary.

Shopping Tips

Consider these tips and resources as you set out on the adventure of shopping for flooring.

-- Take along paint chips and fabric swatches to narrow down the vast array of color and pattern choices. You'll still want to bring home samples to make your final decisions in the space and lighting of your own home. But having these elements along in the showroom will help you weed out absolutely "won't work" options from the beginning.

-- Take rough room measurements ahead of time. Although you'll need precise measurements before installation, estimates will let you get a quick cost figure in mind as you shop. You want to know if a certain material you fall in love with really is within your budget.

Best tips for choosing floors and buying guide.

Choose Your Best Flooring

Does your floor makes a statement in your home?

Here are the Tips:

First of all we have like 4 types of floors,

1. Cement 

2. Tile

3. Carpet

4. Wood etc

So, you have to know which kind of the floor would you like to put in your new home, or if you you want to change it.

Lets starts with Carpet/Rugs:

Nothing beats carpet for its wealth of colors, textures, and patterns -- not to mention wiggle-your-toes comfort.

The Appeal of Carpet

Carpet lends just the cozy and inviting atmosphere we desire in our home's living spaces. From room to room, carpet soothes underfoot and appeals to our senses of sight and touch. Using a gentle flooring, such as carpet, consistently throughout also makes a small house feel bigger.

Choices A-Plenty

Choose wall-to-wall carpet to add continuity to your home. Design options are plentiful, with a wealth of colors, textures, and patterns available.

3 of 16

A Restful Choice

Carpet is a natural fit in the bedroom thanks to its soft, warm, comforting nature. Choose neutral patterns and colors to create a soothing, relaxing backdrop to this restful room and let the personality of the space take the visual lead.

Added Function

Not only does carpet add warmth to our floors, it adds sound insulation, too. This makes it an ideal choice not only for bedrooms, but for home entertainment spaces.

Layer Carpet with Rugs

Use carpet to lay a neutral base to all the rooms in your house. Then, layer on area rugs in individual rooms to add a splash of color and personality, create texture, or define a space within a space.

Know Your Carpet Fibers

Don't less carpet vocabulary dampen your shopping success. Know your fibers to make an educated decision.

-- Polyester is the least expensive type of carpet (commonly found in home-center-grade carpets), but its also the least resilient. Choose polyester for low-traffic rooms.

-- Nylon is much more durable, with good resilience, color retention, and stain and abrasion resistance. If you can afford the upgrade, choose nylon for long-term wearability throughout your house.

-- Polypropylene is stain and abrasion resistant like nylon, but less bouncy underfoot. This fiber is best in loop- and dense-cut pile carpets.

-- Wool is the most expensive option, boasting great resilience and strength, but should be treated to repel stains and resist static electricity.

Modular Option

While wall-to-wall carpet requires professional installation, there are do-it-yourself options, called modular carpet tiles. These individual pieces of carpet not only offer a way to install it yourself, they also make it easy to replace individual tiles due to stains or wear.

Adding Rugs

Whether wood, tile, or carpet set the background for your rooms from wall to wall, you can always enhance your décor with rugs. Available in large area rugs or smaller accent rugs, they can be the starting point of a room's entire decorating focus or the finishing touch. They also add depth and dimension by adding layers underfoot.

Design Inspiration

Let a rug that you love lead the way to a room's decorative character. The style, pattern, and colors established in the prominent floor covering can be a springboard for wall color, furniture selection, and accessories.

10 of 16

Select the Right Style

An area rug can compliment (or establish) the style of a room, depending on the pattern, color, and weave you choose. In an eclectic or whimsical room, add a colorful, loose weave or plush shag rug. Choose Oriental or Persian rugs for traditional décor. Compliment contemporary design with a geometric pattern or a tone-on-tone rug.

11 of 16

Set Some Boundaries

Define spaces within rooms with the addition of an area rug. A large rug draws a seating arrangement together to create a more intimate setting.

12 of 16

Define the Dining Area

The dining room is a good place to use a rug to define space. An area rug beneath the dining table and chairs grounds this functional area and subtly unites the mass of furniture legs. For the right fit, the rug should be large enough for chairs to push back from the table and remain on the rug.

13 of 16

Plush Benefits

Rugs add texture and warmth underfoot. Use their nature to your benefit where you could use an extra layer of comfort -- such as that first step out of bed in the morning, or in a family room, where people love to stretch out on the floor to play games or watch a movie.

Make an Area Rug

Can't find the perfect area rug? Have one made by binding a piece of wall-to-wall carpet. Not only do you get exactly what you want in pattern and color, you get it in precisely the size and shape you need.

Home Organization Tips for Busy Rooms (DIY)

Getting organized is just this simple: Figure out what you have, decide what you need, and find the right places to put things. Check out these cheap tips and clever solutions for minimizing the mess in your home's challenging areas.


Declutter the Closet

The most private and personal space in your home, your bedroom closet, should be organized in a way that works best for you. But a few generalities apply. Most of you closet space should be devoted to things you wear every week. Keep out-of-season clothes and special-occasion garments in another closet if possible.

Love Your Laundry

An organized and attractive laundry room can elevate a dreary chore into a satisfying accomplishment. Start by corralling cleaning aids in tidy containers within reach, and keep several laundry baskets at hand for sorting.


Sew Cool (hii ni zile tray za mayai) what a DIY..... it is so niceeee

Make a pretty sorting organizer from an egg carton. Dress it up with a quick coat of spray paint and fill it with all those little things that come out of the dryer, such as coins and buttons. Add a made-to-fit pincushion, a needle, and small spools of thread, and you have an instant mending kit.

How to Incorporate Old with New Furnitures

Kwa wale wenye furnitures za zamani, unaweza ku mix na za kisasa, ili mradi tuuu uzikarabati, kama kuzipiga polish etc..... na ukazipanga kwa mpangilio mzuri na zikapendezaaa. please, consider color relations.

Bed Headboards

Turn your bed with a beautifully designed headboard. When scouting out the perfect piece, consider unique materials, finishes, and colors to add personal panache to your bedroom. Or, flex your DIY skills and make your own! (DIY - Do it your self)

Tips:

Creative Cut-Outs

A headboard doesn't have to be a boring slab of solid wood. Think outside the box and use the headboard as a way to add interest to the room. Here the white headboard provides the perfect contrast to turquoise walls, and the background helps the geometric design to pop

Pick a Print

With a plain bedspread and neutral wall color, the headboard can be a perfect place to add a print. Pick fabric that blends in with the wall tone and bedspread for an elegant look. Or for a bolder statement, try a bright contrasting color. The large print in the fabric here breaks up a serene, monochromatic gray palette.

Paint Effects

If you have a headboard you love, but the wall color just doesn't do it justice, try adding some paint. Here a purple rectangle "frame" painted on the wall behind the bed allows the creamy tufted headboard to stand out on the neutral wall.

Curtain Case

Consider using a curtain panel as a headboard. They take the room to new heights by extending the eye upwards, and add a jolt of pattern to a blank wall. Simply install a curtain rod on the wall above your bed and hang a curtain from it, using decorating hooks for extra panache.
